    As evidenced by its title, Black Candy is Beat Happening's darkest, most delirously ominous album; clearly influenced by the Cramps, the record is dominated by Calvin Johnson's coffincreak vocals, with Heather Lewis' breathy sweetness rarely in earshot to lighten the mood. A less developed batch of compositions than the previous Jamboree, it strives to evoke the mood of a gradeZ teen horror flick soundtrack, with fauxcreepy songs ("Pajama Party in a Haunted Hive," "Gravedigger Blues," "Bonfire") and primal, drumdominated production; less eclectic and nuanced than the trio's other LPs, Black Candy quickly grows tiresome, although the oftcovered highlight "Cast a Shadow" is a treat.
